Re: SNMPD logs to syslog when it receives any snmp request

Actually i meant for  disabling logging in your sub agent , so I told you
call this function "snmp_disable_log()" . Sorry for misunderstanding
question.


You can try the snmpd with this option, (but am not sure)

snmpd -Lsd tcp:localhost:705 -p /var/run/snmpd.pid

i have taken out "-a" option which tells "Log the source addresses of
incoming requests"

Keep as -Lsd  which means "Log messages via syslog(s option) using specifed
facility "LOG_DAEMON"(d option)

Please correct me , if I am wrong .



Thanks,
Pranesh
